The Northern Rivers property market is stirring again, with the renewed confidence clearest at Banyan Hill, Ballina’s premier land estate by Intrapac Property.
A fortnight of sales momentum has seen over $3.3 million of land sold at Banyan Hill, alongside a $1.34 million land sale at Aureus, Skennars Head, with this ‘land rush’ signalling that buyers are back and ready to build.
‘After a quieter period, we’re seeing energy quickly return to the market,’ says Maxwell Shifman, CEO of Intrapac Property. ‘Stabilising interest rates, improved confidence, and a genuine shortage of quality land are combining to create real momentum across the region.’
Banyan Hill continues to attract strong local interest, with buyers coming from a wider radius around Ballina. Many are drawn to the estate’s unique balance of convenience, coast, and connection – close to work, schools, the airport and the beach, yet surrounded by open space and coastal calm.
Set between the beach and the hinterland, Banyan Hill offers elevated homesites with sweeping views, generous lot sizes and access to future parks, walkways, and cycle paths. At its heart will be Hilltop Park – a vibrant community space with playgrounds, gardens, and shaded lawns designed to bring neighbours together – expected to commence construction in 2026.
To help buyers take the next step, Intrapac is offering the Banyan Build Boost – a $10,000 incentive to support the transition from land purchase to home construction. With house and land packages under $1 million, eligible buyers are also taking advantage of the Federal Government’s 5% Deposit Scheme.
The Banyan Hill Display Village, featuring homes from Perry Homes, Coral Homes and GJ Gardner, showcases the latest in coastal living design, with packages starting from $914,113.
And there’s more to celebrate – the crew at Intrapac invite you to join them for the Banyan Block Party on Saturday, 26 October! It promises a fun-filled afternoon for the whole family, with free kids’ entertainment, delicious food trucks and more.
